Chancellor Hall · April 1978 research

April 1978 — Chancellor Hall Research Leads

Working research board. These entries are deliberately kept separate from the established chronology until stronger local evidence is found.

16 April 1978 — Radiators From Space

The Punk Music Catalogue Chancellor Hall chronology lists Radiators From Space on 16 April 1978. At present this is a secondary venue-list entry only. No matching ticket or contemporary local advert has yet been identified in this pass.

Status: research lead.

30 April 1978 — Rikki & The Last Days Of Earth

The venue chronology lists this date with a question mark. The band's own/informational gigography also marks the Chelmsford entry uncertain, while listing Bradford Royal Standard on the same date. Because the same day already has a competing venue in the band's itinerary, the Chelmsford entry should not be promoted without local evidence.

Status: disputed research lead.

28 April and 7 May — now stronger

The nearby dates have now been separated from these leads. Whirlwind on 28 April has contemporary Record Mirror evidence, and Rikki & The Last Days Of Earth on 7 May has contemporary gig-guide evidence.

Why keep the weaker entries?

They remain useful because a ticket, poster, advert, photograph or local memory could turn them into genuine Chelmsford events later. The archive records the trail without pretending the evidence is stronger than it is.
